Jared's getting married a lot! I'd totally marry him too. And Angela, and Alyson. I'd F Aishwarya and Amy and Matt.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
So, y'all remember the story I told you about my friend who reconnected with a woman he knew and had a crush on in college, but they each married other people. Then, after getting in touch again, visited each other in the cities they were living in and decided to get married? She apparently got pregnant, like on their wedding night. Anyway, they found out today they're having a boy.
This is especially important to her after meeting his family, because his dad died and there's kind of a hole there that my friend seems to be filling and my friend is an IV, so that will make the one on the way a V.
Just really happy for them and wanted to share.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Congrats to them, DJ, and I'm glad everything is working out for them.
Vortex and ita, THANK GOD FOR SOME SANITY. All the Angela Bassett-chuckers were making me feel like I'd fallen through a wormhole or something. I don't care how annoying any er character ever was, how does any sane person chuck Angela Bassett?

I don't get tossing Angela Bassett. Not even remotely. I need to watch Strange Days again.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
IO good N, my niece just found out she got into George Washington University today, which was one of her top three choices! This is even better if you know that this week is the anniversary of when her sister died two years ago and the whole family is thrilled to have something to celebrate. Her top two choices are University of Chicago and Princeton, so those are harder nuts to crack, even though she does have fab grades. etc.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
YAY good news!!!
After having hung out with Angela Bassett a wee bit when she was at the Guthrie, I... don't know that I could F, C, OR M her. She's just so... Well, let's put it this way. I get shy around people whose work I really like, but then I get over it (hello, eye-flirting with Corb Lund the second time I saw him). But Bassett is so very beautiful and so very self-possessed and so very charismatic in this amazingly quiet yet powerful way that I could never get over that shyness.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
YAY good news, indeed! I always like a Good News Friday.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
My iris and dogwood are in bloom, but, well, Georgia.
Dogwood!
So is Brian Cox basically the only real human who fits the TV Show Genius Template?
Yes. And I adore him. He's not why I love physics, but he's got the best soundbite ever for he does and why everyone should. Not that I've shown it to people or anything... Um.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
We're going to a bar mitzvah tomorrow.(My second cousin) Whee.
